A new Cycle

August 1, 2006

CD 1, Cycle 16, Met Cycle 3, TTC #1 since May 7th 2005

Hi all,

so firstly, I am sorry if tis message doesn't work properly, I am trying to write it in the HTML window, so that my paragraphs com out etc, if it doesn't work, then please can someone point me in the right direction.

So, as always, nothing much has happened in the last couple of weeks, my lif has been pretty boring. This morning I weighed myself and I was 12 stone 7 pounds, so that's a 7 pound loss, half a stone since starting the Metformin, so I am really happy. It's not been easy though, and I am not sure that it is actually down to the Met. I am just eating very healthily and I have been going to the Gym and burning at least 600 calories a week. People are starting notice the weight coming off too, so that baby is coming closer and closer.

I had a good weekend, my sister and her family came to visit and stay with my parents for a week, so on Saturday, my DH and I went to spend the day with the family. We had a BBQ in the evening with the rest of my fam ily and it was all very nice. I stayed over and went to the beach the next day. There is a smally funfair there, and the kids, my nephew Christian, and niece Bryony went on the rides, it was really nice. They are coming to see us tonight at our home, to see our new rabbit Binky and have dinner, so that will be nice, as I wont see her again, probably until Christmas. Here is the picture I promised of Binky:

A friend of mine from Fertility friend is undergoing IUI tomorrow, so I am really hoping it works for her as she has been trying for a very very long time. My cousin maybe pregnant too, she had a miscarriage a while ago, but she conceived first go, I think this is her 3rd month since the miscarriage, so I am sure she will fall quite quickly again, here's hoping. She is testing on Friday, and said she will let me know staright away the outcome, I really hppe she is, then it will take my mind off of things.

My appointment with the specialist has been moved to Oct 26th now, so I am hoping that when we see him, he will give us the all clear to start trying again and that I am starting to O again. It would be great if my womb lining is thickening properly too. I am concerned that he is not going to look into the possibility that I have endo, as I think I may have and I want to know that everything is okay that could be wrong, to tak my mind off of things. I suppose I will find out when I see the Dr again.

I only have one month, this month to wait before I get to go on holiday. DH and I will be going to Suffolk with my parents for a week and when we come back, 2 weeks later, we get to go on holiday again to Centre Parcs. We are going with some friends for 5 days. Then it will be my birthday, and then only a few weeks to wait and we will see the specialist, I am so hoping I will be pregnant before 2007, I doubt it though. Last year at Christmas, I didn't drink any alcohol and I didn't have a lot of the food I like, like Pate etc as I tougt i was pregant, I still do think I was, no matter what the docs say, so I am not sure whether to not try at Christmas, so that I can enjoy myself.

Anyway, I think that's enough for this entry, I can't think of anything else to say, it's hard really as I am not allowed to actively try at the moment, so I can obsess about symptoms, or go on about TTC, I can only talk about my life, which is pretty uneventful, so please bare with me.

Good luck and Baby dust to all, c'on lets get some BFPs.

Love to all,
XXX
